Abstract:
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is one of the most common male sex chromosome abnormalities with diverse clinical manifestation and low diagnostic rate, though the specific details of treatment options remain controversial. European Academy of Andrology issued guidelines on KS in 2021 for the first time in the world according to recent evidence, and comprehensively described the etiology, epidemiology, screening and treatment of KS. The guideline consists of 47 recommendations covering the scopes of clinical manifestations, follow-up programs, screening and treatment options for KS at different ages, and provides more reasonable and standardized guidance for the management of KS.
